On offer here is a very rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by The Beatles called 'A Hard Days Night' and is a MUCH rarer STEREO UK 1964 1st pressing!!!! IT IS MASSIVELY RARE TO FIND A 1965 STEREO PRESSING OF THIS LP!!!!   IT IS EVEN RARER THOUGH - AS A 1965 'SMALL' STEREO PRESSING!!!!  THIS IS KNOWN AS THE 1965 '2ND' PRESSING ON THE YELLOW AND BLACK PARLOPHONE LABEL!!!!  EVEN IN 1965 STEREO PRESSINGS OF THIS LP WERE STILL VERY MUCH THE MINORITY AND SOLD IN TINY QUANITITIES.  NOT ONLY THAT - BUT BY 1965 VIRTUALLY NO ONE WAS BUYING COPIES OF THIS BEATLES LP - AS MOST WOULD HAVE BEEN BUYING THE CURRENT BEATLES LPS OF THE TIME (LIKE 'RUBBER SOUL', OR 'HELP').  THERE IS ANOTHER VERY IMPORTANT REASON FOR OWNING THIS STEREO 2ND PRESSING - AND THAT IS THERE IS SOME VERY IMPORTANT DIFFERENCES IN THE MIX (WHEN COMPARED TO THE MONO VERSION)!!!!  SOME TRACKS OF COURSE ARE EXACTLY THE SAME - BUT SOME HAVE SOME VERY IMPORTANT DIFFERENCES!!!!  HERE ARE THE DIFFERENCES:

If I Fell - On the STEREO Pressing Johns opening vocal is double tracked, the mono pressing does not have this.

A Hard Days Night - The STEREO pressing is slightly longer than the common Mono pressing.

Tell Me Why - On the STEREO pressing Johns vocal is double tracked, the mono version does not have this.

I Should Have Known Better -  On the STEREO pressing the closing line is sung 4 times where as on the common Mono pressing it is only sung 3 times. Also the STEREO pressing has a small 'blip' in the harmonica at the beginning of this track, where as the common Mono pressing has a complete unbroken harmonica intro. 

THERE MAY ALSO BE OTHER DIFFERENCES IN THE MIX - BUT THESE ARE THE ONLY ONES I KNOW ABOUT.  NOT ONLY THIS BUT THIS IS THE VERY RARE 1965 2ND 'SMALL' STEREO PRESSING OF THIS LP WITH THE YELLOW AND BLACK PARLOPHONE LABELS, A 'SMALL' STEREO ON THE FRONT COVER AND THE LABELS, 'THE GRAMOPHONE COMPANY' EDGE TEXT, 'SOLD IN THE UK' TEXT, AND NO 'FIRST PUBLISHED' TEXT!!!!  IT REALLY IS INCREDIBLY RARE TO FIND THIS LP AS A STEREO 1965 2ND PRESSING!!!!
